>> My story is unique. I had saline implants put in in June 2003.

> my vision is blurry, and I tremor. The only way I sleep is with

>> sleep medication and Tylenol because I am in so much pain. I too

> was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia but I really am having a hard time

> accepting that as the root cause. I went to the plastic surgeon on

> sleeplessness. Did this improve for you after explantation at all?

> I feel like I can't go on everyday. This has impacted all of my

> relationships. I keep asking my husband to promise that he wont

> leave. I hope our faith in God will sustain us. I have three kids,

> 8, 6, and ,4 that I cannot hardly " mother " anymore. My off-balance

> and sleeplessness makes me frightened to drive them to school. I

> have constant anxiety that makes me feel like my chest is so tight I

> can't breathe and depression at the same time. I have been told

> that I have tumor on my pituitary and another one in mt white matter

>> of my brain. These were not there six months before implants

> when I had an MRI for migraines. I have small tumors and lesions on
